Here is a diagram of the New Pavilion and Cafe. An Activities and Watersport center will operate within the right center area. Two massage rooms and restrooms are located to the left center. The Cafe and Grill will be on the lower level. It kind of looks like The Starship Enterprise. Beam me up Scotty....I'm coming home.

Here is a map of Estate Concordia designed by Kirin Makker. You can see where the pavilion will rest below the Eco Tents. There is talk of constructing fifteen more eco-tents and a possible new style that will create a third choice in accomodations. I need to get with Kirin on some minor changes to the map. We love the map Kirin! Thank you.

Kat Sowa did such a lovely watercolor of the future Pavilion and Grill. Maggie was telling me about a lounge area with a library that will be created near the Activities center.

I have been trying to mount the room tiles created by Gail Van Debogart and Susan Feraco from Maho Bay Clayworks. I have been able to put up a few a day on top of my other responsibilities. Segundo helped me create the frames and they look great. Much better than the the old laminate signs. Great idea Maggie! It's awesome how everyone plays a role in this project. Work because you want to not because you have to. It is funner that way.

< Mission Statement: "The Estate Concordia Preserve has been established to restore and maintain the fragile eco-systems adjacent to the Virgin Islands National Park in Estate Concordia, St. John, U.S. Virgin Islands. The mission of the Preserve is to achieve optimal bio-diversity and sustainability of the natural environment consistent with St. Johnâs native plant, bird and animal life as well as low impact development and human habitation. Land owners within the boundaries of the preserve will be encouraged and expected to support and participate in the fulfillment of this mission through mandatory membership in the Estate Concordia Preserve Association and providing reasonable access to their property for the re-introduction of species and the management of vegetation, bird and wildlife habitat. The Preserve will also co-operate with the Virgin Islands National Park and the Friends of the Virgin Islands National Park to establish programs and policies designed to be a model for the Park and other private conservation areas on St. John.
